Dive

Forces without push me deeper within
Struggling to survive the tide of my sin

Spun out of control in dark fog as I dive
Far too gone, but for You

I'm alive

Stretched and beaten, I am overcome
Think I am breathing but have come undone

Reach through the fog for some grip as I dive
Freefalling now, but with You
